Samsung Lions outfielder Park Seung-gyu (25) returned mature.

Park Seung-gyu, who returned to Samsung after being discharged from Sangmu, was called up to the first team for the first time since being discharged from the military on the 23rd. He is playing well as soon as he comes.

3 for 8 (0.375) in 3 games. In the game against Lotte on the 27th, he started in left field No. 8 and recorded his first multi-hit since returning to the game, filling Koo Ja-wook's gap.




His bold and fast feet shone, too. After getting on base with a clean right-handed hit from Lotte Gamboa in the first at-bat of the second inning, when Kim Ji-chan's infield hit, the backup second baseman threw the ball to the second base, rushing home like a lightning bolt and kicking the team's second run. A great score created by bold choices with the help of third base coach Lee Jong-wook.

"Coach Lee Jong-wook kept ordering bold baserunning even before the game, and I was ready, so I just executed it right away."

Park Seung-gyu took the lead in attacking Gamboa, who made his KBO debut on the day.




At the pre-match power analysis meeting, he also explained how to attack to his teammates. Because he was the only experienced person. He made a multi-hit against Gamboa, who took the mound in a real game against Samsung in the Futures League on the 21st. It was his third hit in both the first and second teams until his first at-bat on the day. There is a possibility that it will become a natural enemy.

"I saw it once more, so it helped me a lot because the trajectory was familiar to my eyes. I told you everything during the pre-match power analysis meeting. I think I played well today because I shared it well."

A 5-tool player with power and strong shoulders in the airlift. After being discharged from the military, a full-fledged potency explosion is expected.




Of course, it is a dream that can only be achieved by overcoming fierce outfield competition.

"I'm continuing to work towards the goal I want. I used to be shaken if I didn't get a result, but now that I'm trying to be more faithful to the process than the result, it's okay if I don't get a result, and when I get a result, I'm more focused while appreciating the process."

He's matured a lot. His muscular body and eyes are also serious and sharp.

"The eyes were originally blazing, but I think they were more mature.(laughs)"

For Park Seung-gyu, the Lions Park outfield is a place engraved in memory with incredible defense.

The flying supercatcher, who played in right field on June 11, 2020, and caught a double-base hit that would hit Park Dong-won's right fence like a bird, is still circling in a famous scene of defense. Park Dong-won, who was sure of a long shot, took off his helmet and said to himself, `Isn't that crazy?' causing laughter. The incredible scene where Kim Dae-woo on the mound and Lee Jung-hoo, a runner, surprised everyone in the ground.

What did Park Dong-won, who met again as an LG catcher after being discharged from the military, say to Park Seung-gyu.

"It's so nice. Please always be nice to me. 'Seung Kyu, now we have to eat together' is doing well by saying a joke."

All-around outfielder Park Seung-kyu is back, with a surprising defense and a sharp hit on the base.
